Re: Why Boniface is critical v RSA

Even NIgeria used Ideye Brown and Emenike in 2013 successfully. It can work. You need mobile strikers that like to run and like to create chances. Both Osimhen and Boniface are good at that. Boniface is not a high work rate striker, he’s no Ideye Brown, not even close. Amokachi and Ideye could play...

Re: EPL Championship Playoffs: Ajayi and Aribo

Chalk and Cheese! The discussion is about players playing at a decent level and not Afghanistan or Yum Yum and shouldn’t fit anyone’s narrative! There are standards for inviting players to the national team and it does matter where they play. Anyone who says otherwise is just being mischievous I gu...

Re: Here we go again: Open camp of SE to local talent-Finidi's first move

The team is already there for Finidi. He has been with them for 2 years. There is no need to deviate very much from Peseiros team. He just needs to plug a hole or two. If he wants to be successful he will stick with mostly the same team. I can garan-damn - tee there'll be local players on that list.

It’s obviously fake news from the same source as the link below highlights. This is not the time to be mucking around with local players, it’s time for focus on the key players for the 2 crucial WCQs https://owngoalnigeria.com/2024/05/09/finidi-picks-80-of-super-eagles-afcon-squad-in-list-for-world...
